• Accounts payable & receivable: manage vendor bills and employee expense reports, manage customer invoicing, and cash collection.
• Maintain schedules: keep fixed asset and prepaid expense schedules current, including depreciation and amortization entries.
• Assist with SaaS revenue: help maintain revenue recognition and deferred revenue schedules for SaaS subscription contracts.
• Compliance, audit & tax support: pull documentation and prepare schedules for sales tax filings, 1099s, and the annual audit and tax processes.
• Ad hoc support: provide ad hoc analysis and reporting support to the Controller as needed.
• Office coordination : schedule and liaise with vendors for snacks, mail pickup, and cleaning services.
• This is a hybrid role will require travel to the office once a week or more if preferred.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including full-cycle general ledger and month-end close.
• Solid working knowledge of GAAP and core accounting principles.
• Experience with journal entries, account reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and maintaining the required support for month-end close.
• Proficiency with accounting software (QuickBooks preferred), and strong Excel / Google Sheets skills.
• Experience with Maxio (SaaS subscription billing and revenue recognition) and Ramp (corporate card, spend, and expense management), Claude a plus.
• High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to consistently meet close deadlines.
• Ability to work independently in a remote-first environment and collaborate effectively across time zones.
• SaaS or subscription-based company experience a plus.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required.
• CPA, CPA candidate, or progress toward certification a plus but not required.

What We Offer
